.To all u'hoan. il -tny con-eem:

Be it; known that. l. PETER lnxint. a citizen of thtl l United States. residingr at tlolunihus. in the eounty oi .Franklin and State ol` Ohio. hay@ inyented eet-tain new partly in side elevation and partly in seetion oi a yehiv ble wheel constructed in aetordantie withthe inyeution, Fig. 2 is a yertieal section through a portion ol` said. Wheel. and. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section upon line y 'y of Fig. 2. looking'in the direetion ol' the arrows.

Like numerals designate corresponding parts in all o1' the figures of the drawing.

Referring to the drawing and particularly to Fie"- l and 2. it will be seen that the huh of niy improved yehicle wheel is made in two seetions 5 and il.' The por- Jtion 6 oi the hub is recessed as at T for the reception oi an annulailiange 8 of the portion Flanges El tl .l0 formed integral with the ptntions and 6 ol' the huh. are recessed as at'. ll Yfor the reception ol` hollow spokes l2. These hollow spokes .l2 are perfor-at ed :is at lil lor the re- 'ception oi lugs lsl whieh projeet from the walls ol the recesses l1. The portions of the huh whieh lie het weeu the spokes eonie flush together indicated at the.

lower portion of Fig. 2 and holts l5 pass through these portions oi the huhand seryeto tie the two sections of the huh together.

The iellypi the wheel indicated at 'lo has its outer edges hent into engagement as at l? with annular flanges 18. Lot-ated between these annular flanges U-shaped stiiiening weh 1.9. The outer ends ol the spokes 'l2 are engaged with clips which are Carried hy this stiiiening wel). said elips eoinprisinl in the present instance. i'our depending tongues 2l and 22.` The tongues 22 Corne inside oi the spoke. while the tongues 2l lie Outside ofthe outer end ol the spoke illustrated in dotted lilies in Fig. 2 and in t'nll lines in Fig. 3; all ol' these tongues. however. 'depend iroin the hasta piece 24 which is secured to the stilfening wel) l Sl. Af ter the wheel has been unhled hei-eiuhefore described. the parts are all lit-ized nig-ether hoth at the huh'and at the outer ends ot' the spol the tongues 2l and 22 being hrazed to the outer ends oi the spokes. and 'the stifiening weh being href/.ed 1o the lolly hol h ut. the

periphery and al'v the sides. The inner ends of the spokes are hrazed into the recesses ll. while the two seett'ons ol the huh are also brat/.ed together in addition to heiligY held hy the holts l5. The inner portions of the riuis i8 ineet at :ihoul the central line of the wheel and are there hrazed together. these riins heinaT piereed for the ret-option oi the spokes as is illustrated in Figs. l and 2. i

The nuineral Il() design-.ttes a setondary huh whieh may he passed through the huhproper ot' the wheel. This eonstruetion is desirable sinee it' provides tneans for rendering these wheels universal in use. In other words. by this method they may he caused to fitv upon any of the various axles now in use. not an essential feature ol the inyention [or the luth proper of the wheel may he utilized l'or that purpose if desired.

'lhe eonstruttion herein shown and deserihed proyides an entirely inet-allie vehicle wht-el which will resist the severe strains ineident to traveling' at a high rate ol speed over rough roads. hut while the eleinents shown and deserihetl are well adapted to serre the purposes ior whieh they are intended. it isto he understood that the invention not litnited to the preeise eonstruttion set t'orth. hut ineludes within its purview sut-h Changes as niay he iliade within the seope oi the tippen-ded elainis.

What l elaiin. is:

vtion with a inetallitfolly. ol a plurality of depending tongues projectingl inwardly from said i'elly. :t plurality ol hollow ilietalli A spokes which engage said tongues. sonie of said tone-ues lying' upon the outside oi the spokes and others ot' said tongues lyin linside of the spokes.

L. ln a device of the t'harneter deserilied. the eolnhination with a nterallittelly. ol' a plurality ol' depending.; tongtes projecting' inwardly from said felly. n plurality 0f hollow niotaliie spokes which enf. Je said tongues. some of suid tone-ues lying;- upon the outside of the spokes and others ol' :tid tongues lyin;- inside of the spokes. nnd a Uslmped stiffenine; wel ein led hy the folly iroin which said tongues depend.

Il. In n yehiele wheel. a lnemllie hull harina reresses forined therein adapted to reeeive the inner ends ol' the spokes. a plurality ot' hollow tnetallifI spokes having' perforations formed through the walls thereof. projections carried hy the walls of said recesses which enter the pertoi'ations of the spokes. a l'elly. and inwardly projeetiin; tongues supported from 'the telly with whit-h the outer ends ot the spokes entoure. soule of the tongues lying;- inside or' the spokes and some ot' said tongues lyin.;4 outside of the spokes.
